The objective of this study was to compare early postoperative
functional outcomes and time to hospital discharge between conventional
jig-based total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and robotic-arm assisted
TKA. This prospective cohort study included 40 consecutive patients
undergoing conventional jig-based TKA followed by 40 consecutive
patients receiving robotic-arm assisted TKA. All surgical procedures
were performed by a single surgeon using the medial parapatellar
approach with identical implant designs and standardized postoperative inpatient
rehabilitation. Inpatient functional outcomes and time to hospital
discharge were collected in all study patients.Aims
